Default New Guy, Older Truck

Hi guys. Just browsed over here from ls1tech for some ideas for my new (to me) truck. It's my first one and a bit of a change for me. I've had it about two months and took care of some of the appearance stuff and now want to do something for the power department. Hopefully I'll get some good ideas from this sight. Only thing I had in mind was maybe swapping in my ls1 after I put in an lq9 in the camaro. Right now the truck has 159k on it and looks like it was a bit beat up by its previous owners. Since I got it I've swapped out the rims/tires, tint, bull bar, battery, alt, starter, pinion bearings, and have been going crazy removing all the badging, bed rail covers, and trim. Still got a ways to go and it looks like I'll be going a dif way from most the trucks on here with a lift instead of a drop lol. Might even make it an offroad monster down the road but right now it's my winter dd.

Here's a couple of pics of the progress so far:
1. Clean but looks like a mexicans truck. O wait I'm mexican lol.


2. Rims/Tires


3. Bull Bar/some !badging


Look forward to talking with you guys!
